【摘要】目的研究miRNA-132对鼻咽癌细胞放射治疗敏感性的影响。方法使用miRNA芯片技术,对比5-8F(亲代细胞)和5-8F/R(放射治疗抵抗细胞)中miRNA表达水平差异,从中挑选差异最为明显的miRNA-132作后续研究。使用流式细胞仪检测miRNA-132对细胞凋亡的影响。使用双荧光报告素酶、蛋白免疫印迹法等方式验证miRNA-132的下游靶基因。结果miRNA-132可以促进鼻咽癌5-8F/R细胞的凋亡,提高其对放射治疗的敏感性,还可以抑制其体内的生长能力。miRNA-132可以抑制Bmi-1信使RNA和蛋白质表达水平。结论miRNA-132可通过抑制下游靶基因Bmi-1来发挥其放射治疗增敏功能。

Abstract【】ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of miRNA-132 on the sensitivity of nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) cells to radiotherapy. MethodsThe expression levels of miRNAs were compared between 5-8F parental cells and 5-8F/R radioresistant cells using a miRNA array; miRNA-132, which showed the most prominent changes between the two cell lines, was chosen for further study. The effect of miRNA-132 on apoptosis was examined using flow cytometry. A dual-luciferase reporter assay and western blotting were employed for the identification and verification of the downstream targets of miRNA-132. ResultsmiRNA-132 promoted apoptosis, enhanced radiosensitivity in 5-8F/R cells and inhibited the in vivo growth of 5-8F/R cells. In addition, miRNA-132 suppressed Bmi-1 expression at both the mRNA and protein levels. ConclusionmiRNA-132 enhanced the radiosensitivity of NPC cells via negative regulation of its downstream target Bmi-1.

鼻咽癌是中国南方最主要的恶性肿瘤之一。目前,放射治疗是鼻咽癌公认的治疗首选方式,但约55%的鼻咽癌在放射治疗后5年内出现复发转移,导致治疗失败[1-2]。导致鼻咽癌对放射治疗产生抵抗的原因很多,主要有癌基因的异常表达,肿瘤微环境的异质性,相关信号通路的异常等[3-5]。近年来,越来越多的证据表明,miRNA不仅参与了正常组织的分化、发育,还参与了肿瘤的发生和进展。同时,miRNA的异常表达还与肿瘤细胞对放射治疗、化学治疗产生抵抗密切相关[6-7]。有文献表明,miRNA的异常表达常导致鼻咽癌对放射治疗产生抵抗,这也是鼻咽癌患者复发的重要原因[8-10]。……
